In the Irkutsk region, the general director of an electric grid company was accused of fraud.
However, the man, not wanting to go under investigation, hid from law enforcement officers.
The Investigative Committee of the Russian Federation for the Irkutsk Region reported this on its official page on the social network VKontakte.
It is noted that the defendant in the case was charged in absentia under criminal articles on fraud and abuse of office. The defendant evaded the investigation, and was therefore placed on the federal wanted list.
As the Investigative Committee found out during the investigation, the CEO of the power grid company involved a number of individuals in his criminal scheme, whose identities have not yet been established.
They entered into agreements with local residents to connect to electrical networks.
At the same time, unequal conditions were created between electricity consumers, since the fraudster and his accomplices gave preference to companies associated with cryptocurrency.
Preliminary damage from fraudulent activities is estimated at 1 million rubles.
